Dynamic Schedule Records

Dynamic Schedule Records This post is on Dynamic Scheduling. This is one of the old blogs which was not posted. So I am actually

following the cookbook for Dynamic Scheduling which was released for ECC 4.72

On the text for dynamic scheduling have a look here.

To activate dynamic scheduling, set the Dynamic scheduling active flag in customizing for SAP Utilities

under Basic Functions → Portioning and Scheduling → Dynamic Scheduling → Define Control

Parameters for Dynamic Scheduling.

I am not explaining the significance of the fields as the F1 help is pretty comprehensive.

On to the application: Below are 20 Portions defined for each working day with Factory Calendar 01

(Germany).

Below have defined 20 Meter Reading units for each of the 20 Portions.

http://wp.me/p1Ci5j-ln www.sapisurdg.wordpress.com

So below we create Dynamic Schedule Record for all the 20 Portions in 01 Factory Calendar.

Once created we get the success message as ‘Database changes were made”. Executing E2DY it looks like

below.

Now If when we execute E3DY to delete the created schedule records as shown below.

The schedule records are deleted as shown below.

Now on the real benefit of Dynamic Scheduling. We change the date for one of the portion as shown

below. The Actual date the Portion 19 needs to be read is 0n 27th August 2012. Now we need to change it

http://wp.me/p1Ci5j-ln www.sapisurdg.wordpress.com

to 28th August 2012. The 'Change Successor' is not checked.

http://wp.me/p1Ci5j-ln www.sapisurdg.wordpress.com

The Portion 19 has got the reading date changed as shown below. The portion following the changed

portion is not shifted. We can see 2 portions have to be read on the same day.

Now we redo the same process as earlier but this time the ‘Check Successor’ is checked. What this will do

is that the portions following this portion 19 would also shift accordingly.

As we can see below the portion reading date has been shifted.

Now when we shift the portion reading date , the system doesn’t check if the new reading date is a holiday

or not. As we can see below Portion 20 to be read on 28th August 2012 is now been shifted to 30th August

2012 which is a

http://wp.me/p1Ci5j-ln www.sapisurdg.wordpress.com

weekend.

The profile is shifted successfully.

Now we have a dynamic portion 04 below with read date of 4th January 2012.

http://wp.me/p1Ci5j-ln www.sapisurdg.wordpress.com

Now a reference portion is created with a read date of 1st January 2012.

http://wp.me/p1Ci5j-ln www.sapisurdg.wordpress.com

So when I use E1DY to have Dynamic Portion 04 added using Reference Portion REF then the system

adds 04 portion with the attributes of REF portion.

Instead of portion 04 having date as 4th January 2012 , it takes on the dates from REF portion which is

1st January 2012.

Two function modules can help in debugging any issues.
